How Can You Deal With Angry Parents?

Very carefully.

OK, that's probably not going to happen. But furious parents can do a lot of damage, whether or not there's any basis for their anger. So in case Dad and Mom ever do show up mad, here are some ideas on how to cope, and maybe even turn the encounter into an opportunity for everybody—parents, kid, and you—to do better.

Our advice comes from experienced teachers we contacted, from NEA members who posted their ideas on an nea.org discussion board, and from Jerry Newberry, head of the NEA Health Information Network, who used to train teachers to work with parents.

Success, they agree, depends on moving from confrontation to problem-solving. That may not always be possible. "Sometimes parents are angry about other things in their lives and choose to take it out on teachers," wrote Leadville, Colorado, sixth-grade science teacher Peggy Pothast. "In that case, there is nothing you can do but let them vent."

But these techniques can greatly improve your chances of moving beyond the venting.

If possible, before meeting with the parents:

Document the child's problem behavior and your conversations about it.

"I document every time I talk with a parent or a student and keep enough details to answer questions," says Leavenworth, Kansas, elementary school counselor Janice Troyer.

If you want parents to help you get the homework turned in, you need to tell them how often it hasn't been, because their child is not likely to 'fess up.

"A lot of kids, if they are not doing well, will hide information from their parents," says Newberry. "So the parent is missing information. The parent's tendency is to defend the child and assume the teacher is wrong. Then the teacher gets defensive. The solution is concrete evidence."

Don't talk to a parent—or write—when you're mad.

"Never ever reply immediately to an angry e-mail," says Linda Robb, a high school English teacher in Indianapolis. "Wait. Do not delay more than 24 hours, but give it time. And then call them instead of writing an answer."

Talk to other teachers who work with the child.

Often, a student with academic problems in one class is finding success in other subjects. If so, you want to be able to let the parents know. That may help them feel less defensive when you describe their child's performance in your class.

Decide what you want to come out of the meeting.

"Don't let the only goals at the meeting be the parents' goals," says Newberry. "They may just come in and yell at you because they think you've been unfair. Your goals should be child-centered—a clear plan of action.

At the meeting:

Start on a positive note.

"Robert is doing really well in ______."

Remember? That's why you talked to other teachers beforehand.

"Many parents come to a conference highly defensive," says Newberry. "Year after year, for 12 or 24 conferences, maybe all they've heard has been bad news. You have to be different: 'I'm here to help your child be successful.'"

Don't propose your solution first.

If the teacher lays out a plan, there's a good chance the parent will come back with, "We tried those things and they were an utter failure," says Newberry.

Instead, he advises, ask the parents to explain what's been done in the past and whether it worked. "Often a meeting fails just because the teacher talked first," he says.

Use 'active' or reflective listening.

"I hear you saying ______. Is that correct?" That's how Diane Postman, an early childhood special education teacher in Gloucester County, Virginia, summarizes this very effective technique, which lets the parent know you're sincerely listening. It also makes sure you understand.

"Often, the angry person is part right and part wrong," notes Postman. "If you begin by agreeing or acknowledging what they are saying, they will calm down."

Describe the problem in behavioral, nonjudgmental terms.

"Robert is not turning in his homework."

"Janet is distracting the students she sits next to. She argues with me and won't follow rules."

Don't bring the student in until you and the parents are on the same side.

If the parent is upset, it's better to work that out before the child is in the room, says Newberry. "Children need to see their teacher and parents singing off the same song sheet."

Agree on specific steps that you and the parents will take.

Pick two or three practical steps each of you can take. "Perhaps you and the parents can use a school Web site to communicate about schoolwork," says Newberry. "You will post the assignments, and the parents will check the site to see what's due and sign off on each completed task. You'll follow up with them when something isn't handed in."

If you're going to find something out for the parent, tell them when you'll get back to them.

After the meeting:

Follow up.

Agree to meet again, or at least to talk, in a few weeks. Don't wait half a semester to find out how your plan needs to be adjusted.

If you're unable to get information that you promised by the date you set, call them anyway with a progress report.

An Ounce of Prevention

By Bill Ferriter

Parents rarely intend to be the flame-breathing creatures you see in your nightmares. Here are three ways to build a positive relationship:

Recognize that parents are valuable partners.

Parents know a lot about their children. They have spent years nurturing and supporting the students whom you've sometimes just met! Ask for their thoughts and advice. Recognize them as experts and treat them as respected equals. Not only will you score points, you'll learn valuable information that will help you to do your job better.

Admit your mistakes.

You make thousands of split-second decisions every day. Who was pushing in the lunch line? Was a child being honest? Were the directions for assignments clear? Was I too harsh? Sometimes you make the wrong decision—you're human! Nothing is more damaging to your relationship with parents than to deny this reality. So apologize and move on.

Communicate early and often.

Parents are passionate about their children. They want to know what their strengths and weaknesses are. They want to hear what you are teaching in class, what the homework is, and how they as parents can extend and enrich learning at home. Yet often their only source of information is a cryptic conversation with a distracted 12-year-old—or, worse yet, picking through the pile of papers in the bottom of a backpack. (It's grungy down there!) Communicate with parents through e-mails and maybe a class Web site. Make phone calls—both to express concerns and to celebrate successes.

I got married three years ago, and then it was sweet' in the beginning after a year and few months, I gave birth to a male child, at that moment I started facing spiritual falsies in my life, along the process automatically my husband changed his attitude coming home lately and all sort of meaningless things. After a while he said he can't live under the same roof with me and he left the home. my life was in **** starting from the day my man left home, he stopped picking my calls he blocked me on his Facebook account. And i had no other option than to seek for spiritual assistance. because sometimes i use to watched some magical things on movies. Finally i found a restoration centre were I seek for help! After getting to one week, I seek help! from restoration home my husband found way back home peacefully. I'm so much grateful everything has finally settled. i sheared my testimony to everyone whom needed assistance to restore marriage, here is Dr obodu email,, obodurestorationcentre@gmail.com

OMG!! This is certainly a shocking and a genuine Testimony..I visited a forum here on the internet on the 20TH OF JAN 2016, And I saw a marvelous testimony of this heard nor learnt anything about magic before.. Not a soul would have been able to influence me about magical spells, not until DR OTIS DARKO did it for me and restored my marriage of 5 years back to me and brought my spouse back to me in the same 24 hours just as I read on the internet.. I was truly astonished and shocked when my husband knelt down begging for forgiveness and for me to accept him back.. I am really short of expressions, and i don`t know how much to convey my appreciation to you DR OTIS DARKO you are a God sent to me and my entire family..

You don't have to feel bad just because your lover left you, When you have someone like Dr.Ekpen Temple who is capable to bring your lover back to you within 48 hours. At first i was a novice to this kind of thing, But after reading a lot of review online about Dr.Ekpen Temple i felt like giving him an opportunity to prove himself. So i took the contact information of Dr.Ekpen Temple which is via email: (ekpentemple at gmail. com) And my heart was filled with joy because just within 48 hours my lover returned. Thanks you Sir.

I found this information useful - it added to other research I had done so thanks.

when your parents are angry just stay away and give them a break. they must of have a bad day.

Contracts | 2014/12/03

I would check with your union and contract about the principal not sharing information. I know in my contract the principal has to tell you what parents complain about. How else can you reflect and improve?

Chuckie | 2014/10/18

How do I get past a parent who has bullied me? She was not happy with a test grade and wanted me to change it. Demanded that I change it, even though the child was an A student. When I said I couldn't because the child was wrong, I offered that the student write a paragraph to tell me the correct information. Mom went to the principal and the principal won't share what mom said. Argh.

joe edukation | 2014/09/25

Wrong, you do NOT have to let a parent be rude or abusive. Just like some kids, some parents are bullies. Like any bully, they will quickly back down when they see you will not be intimidated. Do not engage them in an argument, but make it clear that hostile, threatening behavior is unacceptable. Tell them you want to help their child, but that kind of behavior will only make it much harder to do.

anonymous duh | 2014/09/21

This advice is kinda helpful, but to be honest it is a load of ****. Come on like any kid is going to listen to their angry parents. Back chat is like totally a must. Be cheeky and give them attitude and get loads of detentions and srsly don't take in any **** they tell you and tell them to go away or to **** of. Sneak out of the house without you telling them, this will make them really outraged and that is your goal. But 1 thing is never fail school, because u can't go to asking your parents for any money, when you don't have a job. Parents, listen KIDS WILL BE KIDS AND THEY CHANGE SO DEAL WITH IT. By the way if your parents are getting stricter just tell them to F**off and swearing is reallllly important. If this does not work find out their credit card numbers and buy stuff online that u want, now this is real advise duh and this is just my experience and I ain't living in a **** hole in the middle of a freaking dump site and I chose to do this when I felt like my parents were killing me inside and they always found something to shout at me about and to never to find any positive facts about me ( like **** private school which they spend their sick money on me, and they kept shouting at me when they chose to make me go to that **** school arrrggghh it's so **** annoying). SO as u can see this is **** of a lot better advise than what u just read duh.

anonymous | 2014/09/21

The advise is kinda helpful but to be honest it is a waste of time. Just keep saying why? why? why? to your parents and make them more angry, because parents always expect to much so the best way to deal with this is to make them more angry so try being cheeky and rebellious and sneak out of your house, because that is what they really don't want. You can also try not listening to them and give them attitude and get loads of detentions at school. Now this is what I call good advise. Let's face it kids will be kids and people change so parents get used to it

shon schaffran | 2014/07/10

It is always good to try to build a positive relationship with the parent/guardian. This can begin with the parent letter at the beginning of the year.
When I write parent emails to deal with student behavior, I always say something nice about their child and then mention the behavior that I needed to deal with. I then add on at the end of the parent letter/email that I appreciate how much effort the parent/guardian is putting into their child as well.

I had a student who chose not to go to a required concert, but instead went to an extracurricular activity. He was notified that it was not a legitimate reason, as the concert date has been set for a year now, and that it is for a grade. Normally if students are missing a concert(for family emergencies, or illness) I have them fill out a worksheet BEFORE the concert (after if they were sick from school that day). This student had that opportunity, to come to me and get the worksheet before the concert, but he chose not to. Now his mother is insisting that I change his grade to an A. I told her that the solution is that I will let him fill out the worksheet and I will adjust his grade to a C at most. She just responded with an email that said no, I will change it to an A. Seriously, what is with parents?

Donna | 2014/03/15

I think it's stupid

AH | 2014/02/07

I think this is very valuable advice. I am a student teacher who will have my credential and master's degree in less than six months. Right now, I am in a first grade class with a child who has severe behavioral problems. He has been on a behavioral contract with his teacher for a while now with little to no improvement. In fact, his mother wants him off the behavior contract because she thinks it's too negative.
The big issue is that his mother refuses to believe there is anything wrong with her child and constantly defends him. She thinks he always tells the truth and is in denial that her son causes trouble. He gets in fights on the playgrounds, refuses to do his work, and is disrespectful to his peers and teachers.
His mother has talked to the teacher and the principal at length and blames the teacher for everything. I know that the teacher is a wonderful teacher, and she is not doing anything wrong. She has done all of the things mentioned in this post. While she strongly believes he has ADHD, she cannot tell the mother to seek help. She can only suggest that he see a doctor for his behavior. But, the mother won't do it.

It is very important to exhale not respond right away, and gather the facts, talk to the other staff including guidance, school counselor, cover your basis. Make your message brief and ask to meet and bring others to speak directly to the parent. Best practice have evidence of child's progress, tardies, homework completion, and absences, it all relates!!

wow i love what they wrote even though I am not even a teacher I am still in school my own self someone is writing this to tell what to do in school but I don`t care my mama be going loco when the teacher give me an biggg zero bye.

Rita | 2013/09/17

I agree. This is line of work that takes a lot of patience and to know you are dealing with someone else's child. I have a parent that I wish would drop off the face of the earth, and gets upset at the hint of any problem with him. I can only listen and give suggestions on how to handle things. It is her right as a parent to decide what to do with him. But on the devious side, I do get a little smile when he does the same things to her as he does all day long in school.

Marni | 2013/09/03

If you Google 'yelling at teachers' you will come across many hits about 'teachers yelling at students'. This is, of course, always wrong BUT student and/or parents yelling at teachers is just fine. Teachers have become scapegoats and NO teacher is immune. If the child isn't working, then the teacher is not inspirational enough. Do you blame the dentist if your child does not brush his or her teeth for not being inspirational enough. Problem as I see it is that the student knows that he or she is 'off the hook' and unfortunately many students actually believe that they have no responsibility. If a student is not doing well, it is either the fault of the teacher or it is the fault of the parent

The article lays a solif foundation yet does not address the legal ramifications of an explosive and assaultive parent/caregiver harming a teacher and or student on campus.
Sadly, in the district I work in the administration knows who the out of control parents are and as the saying goes "the squeaky wheel gets the grease" and far too often the teacher gets the shaft.
In addtion, the principal is related to most of the families at our school and God forbid a teacher actually expect to have administrative support in dealing with explosive parents.
I have learned to document anytime anyone comes into my classroom.
I use a post it note and write the date, the time the person entered the room and left. As well as a brief note as to what was happening in the room.
This system has allowed me to recall exactly what was happening, what the person wanted who came into the room and how the class was doing.
I also keep a phone/email journal for all communication.
It is a bit more work but well worth the effort especially when a parent makes an outrageous claim about me.
Sadly on our campus we do have "sue happy" parents who look for ways to make a buck off of our district.

Stacy Ann | 2013/06/18

I was verbally assaulted by a parent in the parking lot in front of staff, parents, students. When I e-mailed my principals about other parents who were upset at the attack: one principal never answered. The other: "Parents want to be listened to. So, listen and do not say anything that you may have to apologize for." That one also said,"I saw that parent stomping over to the parking lot,but I did't know what it was about."

Document--don't sink to anyone elses's level and document again. This is a good introductory article for new teachers.

Beverly-No, you don't. You are not required to tolerate verbal abuse. And if any principal says you have to, get a lawyer.

Jessie | 2013/03/31

Parents-I am your child's teacher. I am not a therapist or a marriage counselor. If you are angry about something else and choose to take it out on me, I will not allow you to vent. I will politely and professionally tell you how it is.

Beverly | 2013/02/23

By law do I have to listen to a parent yell at me over the phone?
Can I hang up?
Can I refuse to talk with a parent because of the parents temper?

We should all care for are parents.
They do so much for us,they buy us clothes,make us food,they go to work to make sure we have a good lives.

Ernesto Ureste | 2012/11/20

I mean think about it, they will soon find out and if they do,then good luck to you.

The right thing to do when your parents are mad at you is : tell the turth.

I have a parent sho's child is not a problem. He's a strong "B" student ( in our grading system getting all "3"s, but no "4"s). The mother is furious and asks why for every score, including scores with written percentages. She asks me why he didn't finish his work (work that he had ample time in the classroom to do, plus several nights as homework. She wants reminders of report card dates even though they were given out early and she signed a paper saying that she knew the due dates and requirements. Anything that her son doesn't do seems to be my fault. How do I deal with a parent like this? Help!

Truthful Teacher | 2012/11/01

Don't always assume your child is telling you the entire story with all details. As a teacher, 9/10 times, the student has left out important details simply to get the parent on their side. The other 10 percent of the time, the parent has other issues that have nothing to do with what is happening.

The Opinions a Screamer for Bad Grades is, Embarrassment, Anger, No Understanding of the Grading System.

Yelling and Screaming is Effective in Intimidation, what are these meetings about? Bad Grades? Do you have to meet with them if you fail their kid.

Has anyone noticed? When a parent expresses concerns, elementary school principles will jump to teachers defense right or wrong. I guess its becuase if you are right they are not doing there job. I had just expressed concerns over what my 8 year old child was telling me about what they do in class and that teacher hasnt started teaching yet??? Crazy two months in.I thought this can not be true. She loves school and tells me everything, so i asked tell me in detail how day goes. She does and is very excited to learn when teacher starts teaching right now she just hands out sheets and checks them at her desk. My daughter tells me she is always working very hard on her computer and she is very excited to learn what she is working on. So i dont tell her ,but I had to ask principle is this something new. Well didnt go very well. My daughter for first time in three years got in trouble. And principle told me she monitors that class and know she is up at board giving lessons everyday. My daughter wasnt lieing she had no reason to. So me asking these question s got my daughter in trouble and myself spoken to like a child by the principle. She even emailed it to me time stamped when i emailed her my concerns when she replied. Duaghter got in trouble right after my email. Daughter came home crying first time in 3 years. Its almost hard to believe

I was really blessed by the tips and suggestions on this website. Thanks for being my 'virtual pyschologist' and giving me great advice. You rock!

Schteachgirl | 2012/09/26

Let them vent and as they do, go inside to your happy place. No matter waht they say, you can get on that level because then , they won and will demand your career. You have to be professional at all times and realize this. Ask them questions. Document. Correct the problme best possible, legally,professionally. and explain yourself.

NZTEACHR | 2012/09/19

The best part of my day is when I get up knowing that I am walking into a classroom full of students that I absolutely adore. The worst part dealing with parents who do not take the time to talk people about their concerns. Today we had a parent come onto the school grounds and verbally assault a student, because she believed her daughter was been bullied. SADLY her daughter was not. Instead her daughter is the bully. Attempts were made to calm her down and discuss the problem. But she then started yelling at me. I am angry for myself and for the student who was berated by this parent. How dare they. Sadly parents do not take the time. I have gotten some good ideas from this article about what you could do before the meeting, during and even after. My dilemma is, how do I get a meeting? What steps can I take to ensure that this doesn't happen again?

PEH | 2012/06/11

An excellent, informative, and timely article. I would like to see more information about working with a parent who avoids face to face and uses email to sound off against a teacher. I experienced a parent who was almost bullying by email. I didn't know how to handle the situation and neither did my administration. It was very traumatic to be "treated" this way and even though it was "only words" I was devastated.

Madalena Silva | 2012/06/01

Very good article, teachers who don't know how to deal with this kind of problem thanks.

Madalena silva | 2012/06/01

Great articles ,problably it will help some teachers who don't kknow how to deal with this kind of parents.

sateach | 2012/05/30

Great advice. In addition to teaching English, I also am the National Honor Society Advisor for our high school. I have had two run-ins with parents in the last week due to their children not fulfilling their service hours and not taking the initiative to come see me about any issues they were having. According to the parents i failed to remind Student A to turn in her hours. For Student B, I over-stepped my bounds and should not have told him that he needs to "self-advocate" when he goes to college next year. What is up with parents? Each time there is an issue, the teacher is blamed. They don't teach their children about being responsible but we aren't supposed to do it either. How do the kids learn about responsibility? They don't. We perpetuate a weak, irresponsible society where everyone else is to blame, not the individual.

TruthHurts | 2012/05/25

I understand that parenting has never been worse as society continues to degenerate; however, it's usually only a couple of nut bags that blame teachers for their own problems. Most of your parents are reasonable enough to hold their own children accountable for their grades, attendance, and behavior. Therefore, when one of these nuts attacks you for their kid's shortcomings, tell them the truth.
"Excuse me, I believe we wouldn't be having this problem with your son/daughter if you would have done society a favor by not bringing children into this world"
- I know it comes off as harsh, but these people shouldn't be having kids

Rick | 2012/05/20

Please, the majority of parents have learned from watching the garbage on TV that the only way to get something done is to cheat the system or bully someone. Plus, the fact they don't want to admit that they could be doing something to contribute to the situation or have to do something.
My family life was completely insane and my grades suffered from it, but when my teachers noticed that I was having trouble, it always became my fault. I wasn't working hard or didn't care enough. No, mom and dad, it is because you are screaming at each other all the time and I was basically on my own for most of my life.
I feel sorry for teachers today. Now, they have to be the teacher and parent for these kids when it is not their job. Hence one of the reasons why I didn't bother going into teaching. I love to be around the kids and helping them out, but the drama and politics involved just turns me off to the whole profession. Much rather prefer to teach abroad in a business setting or where the students really want to learn something.

HELPFUL 4 MY DAILY SOCIAL LIFE ISSUES

Sally | 2012/03/26

I am currently struggling with my first experience with an upset parent. The confusing part for me is that I voiced repeatedly how much I believed in the student, and how my goal was to be a part of the students supportive environment. I am concerned for the student because her poise has changed and so has the level of her work. When I pulled the student aside she was withdrawn and contrite. I called the parent and he was very defensive, argumentative, and hurtful. I felt as though we were having two completely different conversations. I didn't quite understand how he could twist my words from, "I think your daughter is amazing and has performed very well in this class, and that is where my concern is coming from," to something so shrewd and negative. He even asked me if I recorded my conversations. I was so caught off guard because I would never have considered it, since I wasn't saying anything negative. Its sad, because I almost began to question myself in regards to going the extra mile for each and every one of my students. I hope to never have to endure that sort of experience again. I felt so bullied.

wow thanks i am dealing with some now ****** off with them *******

Great articles but what do you do if there is a parent that becomes physical. I was pushed by a parent during a parent teacher conference. The principal was not supportive. He has actually told other teachers that I provoked the parent. What a professional!!!!

As a parent of a child with learning disabilties, and a former school board member, I experienced many problems with trust and communication among our special education parents, staff and administration. The former school board assumed that the best way to deal with angry parents was to sue them. When I got on our school board we were spending over $100,000 yearly on one external special education attorney. We conducted a survey and found that our parents had lost faith in us and told stories of being bullied and treated with a lack of respect. While I was on the school board, we set policies for respectful and honest communication and the superintendent worked closely with our special education staff to change attitudes and behaviors. In the three years I was on the board, we saved over three-quarters of a million dollars in special education costs, notwithstanding increases in private school tuitions and staff salaries. We also improved trust and communication, and ultimately better education for our students. My take away ... don't assume that all special education parents are (as our former board did) "angry at the world and greedy" (direct quote!).

If you have to communicate about a behavior, start with the child's academics. Parents get on your side quicker about their child's education than the emotion charged behavior. If academics are good it gives you a positive comment, if they are not so good, you can point out how their behavior is negatively affecting their success.

? | 2010/06/23

thank you very much this is very helpful!
Parents who receive information from teachers about classroom activities, strengths, progress, and how to help children learn are more likely to talk with school personnel, monitor schoolwork, and help their children learn.

Cheryl | 2009/12/13

Thank you for this valuable information. My conferences are coming up this week and being prepared works best for all concerned. Thanks again!
